Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 931 She Who Never Went to Canaan
The bridal sedan chair traveled through Black Seal City, bypassing the town, and soon arrived at the small village in front of Canaan Academy.

"Third Young Master, the road is slippery. Please be careful not to slip and fall again. If such a handsome young man turns into a pig's head, I'll never be able to get married!"

"Shut up! You witch, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state!"

"Young master, please don't be offended. I am just a weak woman, how could I understand your hypocrisy and cunning? Here, let me wipe your sweat."

"Don't touch me, I have my own hands!"

Stepping down from the bridal sedan chair, Xiao Yan shook his throbbing arm, but felt immense apprehension in his heart.

The demoness's face changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. One second she was inviting him to spend the night together, and the next she turned around and kicked him out of the bridal sedan chair, making him work as a coachman outside the carriage for three whole days.

Even powerful Dou Wang and Dou Huang level experts have become mere horses in front of a demoness's sedan chair. Xiao Yan would have to be out of his mind to fall for their tricks.

"Hmph, you wicked young master, always wanting more than you have. I shouldn't have changed out of Xun'er's clothes."

A girl's reproachful and resentful voice drifted over, and behind the screen where the candlelight had been burning, a graceful and beautiful body was quietly revealed. The candlelight flickered, and her hair cascaded down along with her dress.

Xiao Yan blushed and was about to subconsciously look away when he was caught by a pair of beautiful eyes that were smiling but mischievous.

Hun Ruoruo gracefully peeked out from behind the screen.

Xiao Yan, feeling somewhat guilty, shifted slightly to the side.

"Halt! With such a grand display, do you think this is the Black Corner Region?"

Suddenly, a dozen lithe figures jumped down from the town gate and blocked the path of the bridal sedan chair.

The middle-aged man leading the group said in a deep voice, "Anyone entering Peace Town must state their identity, name, etc., otherwise they will be expelled!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate and quickly gave his name, confirming his identity as a disciple of Canaan Academy.

Because of Xun'er's immense popularity among the thousands of students in the academy, Xiao Yan's name naturally became well-known to everyone, and he was quickly cleared of suspicion.

"So it was that troublesome student that Instructor Ruolin took in back then. No wonder there's such a big commotion."

The middle-aged man nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the bridal sedan chair being pulled by several powerful puppets.

"But this bridal sedan chair..."

Before he could ask, Hun Ruoruo had already walked down the steps.

She wore a long dress, her bright eyes sparkling, her sea-blue hair gleaming in the midday sun, and her deep, jewel-like purple eyes seemed to draw in your very soul.

The Canaanite disciples, who were used to seeing women with bare faces, had never seen such a well-dressed beauty before. They were immediately stunned and speechless.

"Who, who is this?" The middle-aged man was equally shocked.

Hun Ruoruo raised an oil-paper umbrella, landed half a step behind Xiao Yan, gave a graceful bow, and said softly, "It is rare to have everyone stationed at Canaan Academy. They are so loyal and dedicated. Even the Medicine Emperor Han Feng probably wouldn't be able to break into Canaan Academy."

"However, I am but a woman with no strength to even kill a chicken. I have come to Canaan only to see my husband off. I have no other intentions. I beg you young heroes to be lenient."

As she spoke, she reached out and hooked her arm around Xiao Yan's. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a mixture of shyness, pride, bitterness, and longing.
"Husband?!"

Upon hearing this, the Canaanite disciples were struck dumb, as if by lightning.

For people on the Dou Qi Continent, getting married after the age of sixteen is perfectly normal, so it's not surprising at all.

What truly drove them crazy was Xun'er, whom they eagerly awaited day and night in the outer courtyard!

No wonder she hesitated to search for Xiao Yan; no wonder she always brushed off her relationship with him as brother and sister when asked. It turns out this girl, hailed as the goddess of the outer courtyard, actually…
It turns out it was unrequited love!
Considering Xun'er's constant references to Xiao Yan, everyone's expressions changed repeatedly as they finally understood the reason behind it all—

What we can't have is always the best.
"."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched. This demoness was indeed using illusion magic again. She could perceive so many emotions with just a glance. She was truly not to be underestimated.

The middle-aged man's expression was strange, and he finally regained his composure: "So, young lady, you came to my Canaan Academy just to say goodbye to your... uh, husband?" Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes dimmed, and she said softly, "You all don't know, my husband and I were supposed to get married some time ago, but Canaan Academy was pressing us urgently, and my husband's leave of absence was too long, so naturally we couldn't delay any longer."

"You mean he refused to marry you?!"

"Please don't be offended, everyone. My husband is a man with lofty ambitions. Once the Canaan Academy assessment is over, he certainly won't abandon me."

However, faced with Hun Ruoruo's soft explanation, the others had no intention of listening any longer, and instead glared at Xiao Yan, whose face was tense.

You little rascal, so you wanted to be a scumbag!
Not long after, after much persuasion from Xiao Yan, the group finally let them pass. They patted their chests and assured Hun Ruoruo that once she entered Canaan Academy, they would keep a close eye on her and never let her flirt with other women.

Having received the goodwill of the enforcement team, Hun Ruoruo was also allowed to enter Canaan, ostensibly to "send her husband to the very end."

"That's it."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan looked at the delicate girl who was hooking her arm around his and said in a deep voice, "Are you really not going to Canaan Academy?"

Xiao Yan originally thought that the reason why the other party had been following him all the way must be that they were planning to go to Canaan Academy.

But now it seems that apart from causing some trouble and secretly playing tricks on him, this witch hasn't really done anything outrageous.

That really doesn't suit her personality.

"Hmm, I would like to go, but unfortunately, back in Wutan City, that Miss Xun'er seemed to have seen through my identity and even sent a soldier to harass me in every way."

The girl pouted and pondered for a while.

"I killed her henchmen and stole her man. Now she probably hates me even more. In this situation, wouldn't going to Canaan Academy be like walking into a trap?"

Hun Ruoruo is a very shrewd person.

She admitted that teasing this silly young man was fun, but it was clearly not enough to expose herself to the sight of the young lady of the ancient clan.

In that case, why not use Canaan Academy to keep them in check?

With Xiao Yan around, not only can he keep Xun'er in check, but he can also take this opportunity to thoroughly annoy her, while he himself can remain unscathed and enjoy the show.
That really is killing two birds with one stone.

Glancing at Xiao Yan beside her with a complicated expression, Hun Ruoruo smiled eerily, having somehow reverted to her true nature, and casually slapped away his outstretched hand.

"Goodbye, my lord. As the one I've chosen, it's no use not maintaining my purity~"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl bowed slightly and gracefully walked away into the distance.

"This witch"

Xiao Yan was somewhat lost in thought. For some reason, after the girl left, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, as if a piece of his heart had been lost.

He tried to say something, but since there was no connection or bond between them, the words that were on the tip of his tongue were naturally swallowed back down.

"Kid, that girl's handkerchief."

The old doctor didn't want to say much, but after hesitating for a moment, he still gave a reminder.

Now that things have come to this, he naturally wouldn't say anything to spoil the mood. As someone with experience, the old doctor knew very well that a young girl's resentment was like a needle hidden in cotton, without swords or spears, and without coercion, yet it could make a man who was always successful become more and more attached to her.

Movement is wrong, stillness is wrong.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and realized that the handkerchief the girl had used to wipe his sweat was still in her pocket, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yan murmured, and also took a step.

Under the bright sunshine, the boy and girl walked back to back, like shadows cast by the sun, stretching further and further apart as they walked.

From that moment on, their paths never crossed again.
